Hi there champagne225,


From what we can tell, you're not seeing video on the screen of your TV when connecting it to your MacBook Air using an HDMI cable. We're glad you've joined us in Apple Support Communities, and we can provide some guidance.


"If your Mac doesn't recognize your HDTV, display, or other HDMI device after making the connection:

  1. Turn off the HDMI device while your Mac is turned on. 
  2. Unplug the HDMI cable from your Mac, then plug it in again.
  3. Turn on the HDMI device."


Have a look at the 'After making the connection' section of this support article to learn more:


Connect to HDMI from your Mac


If that doesn't seem to help, try the suggestions in this link:


If you can’t see your Mac desktop on an external display


Cheers.
